The Chronically Resilient OT

The Chronically Resilient OT I'm a multiply neurodivergent Occupational Therapist/Kaiwhakaora Ngangahau with lived experience of chronic illnesses.

I support other health professionals to understand and support themselves, through supervision, mentoring, resources and trainings. I combine my OT knowledge and lived experience of chronic and mental illnesses to support others to find and explore things that bring meaning and joy to their lives. Living well with chronic and mental illnesses is entirely possible with strategies and supports (both internal and external).

Highly recommend Vikki Reynolds’ trainings!

Autism and ADHD are about so much more than brains.

These resources from All Brains Belong VT, The Coach and Nigh.functioning.Autism help make connections with what's going on in our bodies and wider environments.

Learn about common co-occuring health conditions; the difference between internalised meltdowns and shutdowns; motor control differences, and more.

So many transitions in a day!

So many transitions in a day!

Autistics are well known for not being the best when it comes to dealing with change, but what isn't well known is how many changes people have to go through in their everyday lives without even realizing it. Minute to minute, hour to hour, we go through countless changes every single day, and some days, it's just too much.

Please like, comment, share and follow! It really helps support me!

[Image description: A six panel comic of Honeydew going through daily changes. The comic is titled "Challenging Changes" and is made by Theresa Scovil.

Panel 1:
Honeydew says to the audience "While it's understood that autistics aren't great with change, I don't think people fully understand what that entails."
Panel 2:
Honeydew looks sad as they lay in bed.
Narrations says "The change from in bed to out of bed."
Panel 3:
Honeydew looks said as they stand outside the shower with a towel wrapped around them.
Narration says "From out of the shower to in the shower."
Panel 4:
Honeydew looks sad as carry a purse and grab onto a door handle.
Narrations says "From inside to outside."
Panel 5:
Honeydew says to the audience "There are so many changes we have to go through throughout our day."
Panel 6:
They looks sad as they say "And some days, even the simplest ones are too hard."]
